Personally I feel like you should build a whole new car. The green glory hole car is too good to be turned into a limp-dick N/A car.

You hate yourself, giving out those gov't checks to millionaires in their multi-million dollar summer-homes. |

Hey, if I don't like it, I can always switch back. |

The best part of all this?
sjmarcy will be completely and utterly convinced that he was right all along, and that your automotive journey is further proof. |
Looking forward to seeing the NA numbers it puts down.
The Absurdflow parts and turbo motor need to go in the daily. It certainly seems a lot easier to maintain a reliable, good gas mileage, 300whp daily driver than trying to do it in a racecar. |
I sometimes miss my turbo miata track car. Doesn't take much time in the seat of a real race car to forget all about it.
Are you going to fully cage the car? And what class are you building for? TTD? |
So how are you adapting your turbo exhaust to the NA? Won't that be ungodly loud without the turbo?
|
I enjoyed your other build and posts; you've been a player when it comes to fast turbo miatas that go fast on a track for sure. This build should be awesome too. Its even better that you did all that driving the car to the track.
I can say from experience though, a super light real racing car with a simpleish NA engine is great. I have a 240sx lemons car that I co-own with a couple of dudes. Its pretty simple and pretty reliable. I took my black miata with the mp62 to a track day where we had the lemons car too and did 4 laps in the miata before I parked and got back in the 240. Both on street tires the 240 was 3 seconds a lap faster on a 1:30 track. Nothing sucks more than going to the racetrack and not turning laps. Ok, ok, getting blue balled sucks more but only just. |
I've never raced a car on the track. But I see the logic in this idea. I think the fun factor will stay the same, and the worrying factor will go away. So win win.

Motor is in!
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1346126229 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1346126229 Every tool we needed to pull the engine less the deadblow and lift: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1346126229 I don't have room for air in that little-ass garage. I need to make water return line with the remote thermostat, remove the intercooler, tape-up the holes in the ducting, attach the exhaust, put in the new clutch line, and then I'm off for road tuning and hopefully will get on the dyno this weekend. |

So what happens when hustler goes back to being NA and realizes that it is driver skill not the car that is holding him back?
I also suspect I will go just as fast if not faster with this set-up. |
Aren't you already in TTB, Hustler?
I'm a bit confused - why would you drop as much power as you are if you are only going to stay in the same class? |

I'm not saying one is better, but the way you man-handle an naturally aspirated Miata is a much different experience on track, and I miss it.
I'm starting to seriously consider picking up a N/A shitbox focused for track use with what I've been reading from you lately. |
